Well nothing done the last few nights, partly from still bring filled with cold and not feeling like it, partly because this morning I was going on a little jaunt to pick up a gearbox. Well I say little, about a 255 mile round trip!

Anyway, thanks to a bit of research I discovered the 2002+ Skoda Octavia was fitted with the same 2.5TDI engine as the Audi's and also comes complete with the 6spd 01E. The advantage being that because not so many people know this is an 01E it goes cheap... So I now have a 2003 01E FRF for £200
